how often do you wash your watch?

[Pboned]

I wash mine each time I wear it, typically a few times a week. I use dawn soap when I do wash it.

When I notice they are looking a bit dull.

Tough to answer since I rotate watches often, very often. Sometimes 2 or 3 watches a day.

But I try and do a mental tracking and wash with water and Dawn after the equivalent of about a week’s wear.

I do believe it’s important to regularly wash your watch for proper maintenance but I don’t do anything elaborate other than my method mentioned above. I believe it’s a “Padi approved” method as well.

I wonder if those who comment against the likes of Wrist Clean have used the product? It's clearly NOT soap and water, Dawn, Dove, Fairy or otherwise ;)

Anyway for my 2 pence worth, it brings on a shine to watches and jewellery. I just use a soft tooth brush to get into the nooks and crannies, rinse off in chlorinated water, which comes out of the tap. Job done.

Apologies if this has already been hashed out but is it ok to put your watch in one of those ultrasonic cleaners?

I hear some people say you can only put the head of the watch and not the bracelet in and others say it’s fine for the entire watch?

I would personally never put a watch head in the ultrasonic. It's meant for bracelets and/or jewelry.

Got It, thanks.

And I see I actually reversed it in my comment. Bracelet yes, watch head, no. That’s what I mean to write but came out the opposite.

Dawn dish soap, and water at least once a week. I get a lot of dark smudges on my wrist if I don't do it often enough. Especially in the warmer months when I'm sweating a lot. Bracelet probably needs a good ultrasonic cleaning.

I get a couple of watches typically from the safe every Monday. The ones from the previous week get a wash and go back in clean, otherwise eventually it will get messy in there and quite possible I may have issues with watches that have sat for a very long time unworn.

Probably weekly. Just washing this one last night.

about 2-4 times a month, but I don't wear my nice watches when doing dirty work, I have cheaper automatics to do that stuff with, I use a soft bristle toothbrush and a tiny bit of liquid dish soap, I never shower with my watches.

[Mccall86]

I’m down to three watches and wash each once or twice a month. Warm water, dish soap and a toothbrush

[Yobber76]

I wear them in the shower, they get washed as I do. Otherwise, when I look at them and they are dirty, like when I am working in the yard, or smoking something on the grill, I take them off and wash them with dawn in the sink.

I loved this thread.

Daily of course. Every other day if too rushed.

[Sgooter]

From reading this thread, I discovered how dirty I've become. Will soon borrow my neighbor's pressure washer.

But is it safe?...

Whenever I change watches I wash the one going back into storage. Can be a few days….can be a few weeks.

I wipe it with a microfiber cloth every day, but only wash it once a month or so. I clean the bracelet in the ultrasonic about twice a year.

That is exactly what I do. Usually, I wash my watches with Dawn, but I also have the Wrist Clean product that I occasionally use. In between cleanings, I sometimes wipe the watch with a Zeiss lens cleaning tissue.

5-6 days a week especially in the summer down south with the humidity and sweating

[murphyr]

Everyday sometimes more than once if I’m sweating a lot.

How often do you wash your underwear? How often do you wash your clothes? How often do you wash your belts?

This is such a dumb question; but I replied to the thread so I guess I'm the sucker.

[madsitalia]

Never 🙈 Is That bad? 😝

[Blanch]

When it needs washing.
